Miami Dolphins fans haven't had much to cheer about since being eliminated from playoff contention back in Week 15, but the play of rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers gave them something to latch onto the last few weeks. With one more game left against the New England Patriots, another solid performance from Ewers may have been enough to solidify him as the starting QB for 2026.
Unfortunately, things didn't work out the way the Dolphins hoped.
Ewers started the game strong, but he ultimately looked overmatched in the second half as the Patriots throttled Miami 38-10.
